"Distressing" Time

Good evening folks
It's been one of those staple themes over at Simon say Stamp and Show - Distressing.... well distress ink is standard issue for me so this project fits the bill.
Step one; take one tired charity shop bargain clock

Cover with shabby vintage style papers

Sand all the edges and stamp some dragonflies in forest moss and faded jeans distress ink over the face randomly (These are from The Stamp Man)

and ink the edges and over the clock face using the same Distress inks.
Then take some boring (to me anyway!) chipboard numbers

Triple emboss with utee and stamp a script on the last layer and silver age them with rub n buff; add to clock face along with a metal distressed bird cage and some flowers

Hi just wanted to say that I love your work, I have spent ages scouring your blog and your work is so inspiring and totally appeals to my style. I am now following so look forward to your future postings.Amanda.

Hello Neil! Your clock face is lovely! I really really like how you did all the "metal" pieces you added. I can't believe the DIFFERENCE from start to finish! Just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show! Amazing! <3 Candy

This. Is. Perfection!!! Absolutely love what you have done with this clock. Everything about it is fabulous, but my favorite is the metal effect on the flower and bird cage - just toooo cool. You rocked the distressing challenge this week! So happy to have you joining in the fun with us again this week at SImon Says Stamp and Show!
